CheckDisk won't run
Okay I have been having problems with my Toshiba Satelite, I am running Vista Business.
I try to run the ScanDisk to check for errors and it says ( can not run while drive is in use would you like to schedule next time you restart)
I click yes and it never checks the disk when I reboot.
I have tried it in safe mood also with no luck.
I am dreading reinstalling my entire system, but at this point I have tried pretty much everything, was wondering if any of you have had a problem like this and how you fixed it.
Thanks in advance.

The problems are stated in the first post. C/drive diskscan will not run, and I cant defrag the computer either.

did you try to run checkdisk from command prompt? or maybe you'll have to do a repair install, but you'll keep your settings and junk.

You need to run it outside of windows
Follow these steps to access the Windows Recovery Environment:
Turn the computer on, and immediately press and hold the F8 key.
After several seconds, the Advanced Boot Options screen will appear.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Repair Your Computer, then press the Enter key.
Accept or change the language and keyboard selections, then click Next.
Use the mouse and keyboard to select your Windows user name from the drop-down list, and enter your Windows password, then click OK.
The System Recovery Options menu will appear. It will include several Windows Recovery Environment options, typically including the following:
Startup Repair
System Restore
Windows Complete PC Restore
Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
Command Prompt
Toshiba Recovery Wizard
then launch command prompt and run chkdsk /r for a repair

Make sure your task schedule is running under services.

Step 1
All functions in Windows Vista are best accessed through the "Start" button. Unlike previous versions of Windows, it is not easily located under "Programs." Left click the Vista button and select "Computer."
Step 2
Select Properties
Right click on the hard drive you wish to scan, and a drop down menu will appear. Scroll down to "Properties" and right click.
Step 3
The Tools Menu
Select the tab across the top that says "Tools" and a menu will appear. Select the menu which says "Error Checking."
Step 4
Dependent on your user settings, Vista may ask you for permission to continue to run a program. Grant permission for the program and then another window will open. The window will send a message that Windows is unable to run the program at that time. It will ask you to either restart immediately, or to schedule for a future time.
Step 5
Reboot the computer at the desired time and Vista will perform a scandisk check.
